Question

1) At the supermarket you can fill your own honey bear container. A customer buys 12 oz of honey for $5.40.

Answer 1

From the problem, the cost of 12 oz honey is $5.40

a. the cost of honey per ounce will be :

$\frac{\ 5.40}{12oz}=\ 0.45\text{per oz}$

The answer is $0.45 per ounce.

b. the amount of honey per dollar will be :

$\frac{12oz}{\ 5.40}=2.22$

The answer is 2.22 oz per dollar

c. when h = ounces of honey and c = cost in dollar

The equation will be :

For the cost of honey per ounce :

$c=0.45h$

For the amount of honey per dollar :

$h=0.22c$

d. Graphing one equation, we will graph c = 0.45h

A line with points (0, 0) and (12, 5.40)

x-axis will be the amount of honey

y-axis will be the cost in dollar.
